Viper (LWOTC)

返回主页 | 返回单位页面

The Viper are Thin Men in their original form, that of a snake-like alien that acts as an assault unit.

The Viper serves as an assault unit for ADVENT, being mobile and generally engaging in close range. The Viper's powerful tongue allows them to do a Tongue Pull grabbing a soldier and pulling them to the Viper. When there is a soldier adjacent to the Viper, they can wrap around them and Bind them while slowly crushing them. While they are bound, they are also a vulnerable target allowing the Viper's allies to fire against them to ensure a kill. They are also capable of spitting poison , poisoning our soldiers while also leaving a poison cloud that will affect any targets that moves through it. Along with the ability to poison our troopers, they themselves are also immune and unaffected by poison.

Tips

• Like most flankable units, they will ideally try to find reasonable cover whenever flanked. This can be taken advantage of if you want to force enemies to move.
• Poison Spit can easily be negated by simply carrying a medikit which grants poison immunity. This immunity can also block the initial poison when spat at, wasting their turn. While Viper's can sometimes spit at a single target, if you group multiple units closeby with immunity it will encourage the viper to spit but is then wasted as you can't be affected.
• Bind can be an incredibly dangerous move as the viper effectively stuns your soldier, deals continuous damage while also making them an easy target for their allies. It is best to target their allies first so that they are unable to take advantage of this.
  • Being bound can in fact be advantageous as the viper does minimal damage with the initial bind dealing only 1 damage which is not enough to get through a soldier's plating and will not result in a wound. If you are able to defeat their allies and the Viper is the only enemy alive or active then you can ensure no wounds can be inflicted if you grant them a target to bind.
  • Vipers are incredibly likely to bind a target if there is already a unit adjacent to them.
  • Bind strangely does high environmental damage and can generally destroy the environment within 1 tile around them, this can result in making the soldier but also the Viper vulnerable to attacks. This can also explode vehicles so be cautious of this.
